There are some tools and resources which I find valuable enough to share with you. I know many of you are really busy right now, but these 3 tools are something which you may find very helpful: QQube is an amazing new reporting tool, Scaling New Heights — a great conference for Intuit Advisors and The Sleeter Group’s Consultant’s Reference Guide.

1. Amazing New Reporting Tool – QQube

Chuck Vigeant, nationally recognized expert on QuickBooks custom reporting and integration is the creator of an amazing new reporting tool QQube from Clearify. If you or your clients want custom reports from QuickBooks quick and easy, you really should check out QQube. I’m impressed with how easy it is to use — creating custom reports is so much easier and faster!

You can read my interview with Chuck about QQube here. Charlie Russell wrote a great product review for QuickBooks and Beyond (The Sleeter Group’s blog). Plus, Chuck will present several free webinars to demonstrate QQube over the next few weeks. You can see the schedule of webinars and register here.

2. Scaling New Heights Conference in May
